6th Signing - Will Evans

2nd of the day, could be a 3rd later this afternoon?
FLANKER WILL JOIN HARLEQUINS FROM LEICESTER TIGERS FOR THE
2019/20 SEASON
Will Evans will join Harlequins from Leicester Tigers for the
2019/20 season.
Openside flanker Evans enjoyed a stellar rise through the ranks
at Leicester in the closing stages of the 2015/16 season, making
his senior debut for Leicester Tigers and then going to the
World Under-20s Championships with England who reached the final
and was then deservedly named in the competition dream team.
Evans, 22, earned international recognition at four age-group
levels as he progressed through the Tigers academy. He made his
Premiership debut against Gloucester at Welford Road in April
2016 and made three more appearances that season, including in
the semi-final at Saracens. He was a member of England’s senior
EPS squad of 45 back in 2016 at the tender age of 19.
Head of Rugby Paul Gustard said: “Will is a player I have been
fortunate to work with before. He is a young man with a very
clear goal of where he wants to get to and we are delighted he
has chosen to join us as he takes the next step forward in his
burgeoning career.
“He is a tough-on-the-ball 7, he tackles hard and runs with real
intent. He is a super talent and I am confident in our ability
to help him develop his game, fulfil his potential and realise
his ambitions, which in turn will help us achieve ours.”
Evans said: “There is a great buzz around Harlequins at the
moment and I know they are an incredibly ambitious club. I know
Gussy and his team are hungry for trophies and I look forward to
being part of that group, learning from them to improve my own
game and helping the squad achieve its ambitions.”

Agreed. But nail in the coffin for Wallace?

From rumours it sounds like Wallace and Evans are swapping
places.

with the timing of this one I would think there will be a 3rd at
around 1400.

I don't know why but this signing excites me maybe even the most
so far. A proper 7, young but already performing really
effectively in the Prem. The kind of player who could easily
become a favourite.

Yeah, it's just an area we've struggled in for such a long time.
You've got the Underhill/Curry/Willis type 7s at other clubs
that always cause us real issues when we come up against them -
and they cause havoc at the ruck without us firing any shots
back. This is exactly the type of 7 we needed, albeit young -
but from what I've seen he doesn't lack confidence and that more
than makes up for lack of experience.
